AV system cost guide for UAE projects
AV budgets move quickly when the scope shifts from a basic meeting room to a control-led boardroom, auditorium, or digital signage package. This guide is meant to help buyers set rough expectations before issuing an RFQ, not to present fixed market prices.
Where AV pricing usually changes
Brand assumptions, control scope, room acoustics, custom mounting, and programming all affect AV pricing. Two suppliers may appear to be quoting the same room, while one is assuming an entry-level control layer and the other is pricing an integrated premium package with commissioning and client training included.
Indicative package ranges only
A standard meeting room package may sit far below a premium boardroom or divisible conference space. Auditorium, hospitality, and digital signage packages move again once control, content, fabrication, and installation access are added. Treat any early budget number as directional until the specification, quantities, and delivery scope are issued in an RFQ.
How to get more reliable AV pricing
Issue the same room list, equipment assumptions, and delivery requirements to multiple suppliers at the same time. Require any substitution to be flagged separately. That matters more than chasing a single benchmark number, because comparability is where AV buying usually breaks down.
